"Do you guys still have a curfew": Warner takes jab at England's recent off-the-field indiscipline in banter with 'Barmy Army'

Melbourne [Australia], September 11 (ANI): Former Australian batter David Warner got into playful banter with the English Fan Army, the 'Barmy Army', on social media after facing some trolling, taking a jab at the England team's recent off-the-field disciplinary issues and asking them to "find a new target". 
England's official fan group, the 'Barmy Army', took a jibe at Warner after Saim Ayub registered a pair of ducks in the final Test against England at Edgbaston, posting a stat about him registering a pair twice on English soil. 
To this, Warner had a witty reply, which also took a playful jab at England's recent off-the-field problems related to players breaking team curfew and being involved in drinking/club incidents, most recently pacer Brydon Carse. 
"Hey guys, sorry the time zone got the best of me. Interesting stat. When was the last time I went 42 innings without a test hundred?? Oh do you guys still have a curfew? Asking for a mate," posted Warner.

To this, 'Barmy Army' posted a hilarious reference to Warner's struggles against Stuart Broad, posting, "Good to see you’re still nibbling outside off, Dave. Some habits die hard."

Warner had a mediocre record in England, scoring just 980 runs in 37 innings at a strike rate of 26.48, with nine fifties. He fell to Stuart Broad 17 times in 31 innings, including four ducks. This also included six dismissals in the 2019 Ashes in the UK, where he scored a paltry 95 runs across five Tests, with a fifty. 
Warner finally ended the banter, replying, "Been retired a few years now! Eyes have gone, think you need a new target or you still need followers. Happy to buy a few for you guys."
